Well having installed Warehouse control systems for the first 5 years of my
career I had a chance to see a lot of Warehouses...
Modern Warehouses can be pretty borring, there is no getting around that but at
least one side of the building should be dedicated to Docks with lift doors for
the Trucks dropping off and picking up. Of course your should have several
trucks as well.
One corner could be dedicated to "Office Space" that corner should have
windows and even a nicer facade then the rest of the building. Other than that
landscaping is a good way to disguise a simple facade. And like Mike said have
lots of pallets and junk sitting around, usually in one corner near the docks.
Oh and don't forget the parking spaces for the workers!
